#109

The oldest of the bunch, is a phase 2 with dynamic brakes and a plow pilot. It also has the five-step stepwells, winter window, modified side sill, rear mounted fuel fill, cab roof mounted horn, antenna and beacon.

#110

Torpedo boat with big fuel tanks and the air tanks moved to the roof. We still have the standard 3-pane all weather cab window, 5-step stepwells, cab roof mounted beacon, antenna, air horn and a modified side sill, but no dynamic brakes.

#1741

A former Northern Pacific late geep that was part of BN’s early chop-nose program. Adding to the character of this unit are the NP frame mounted lifting lugs, no anticlimber, five-step stepwells, forward fuel fill, dynamic brakes and four 36” fans. We also went the extra mile to add the NP unique bonus grab on the rear.

#1774

A graduate of the Great Northern. The GN ran their early geeps long hood forward and the BN didn’t bother to change that. This engine retains it’s long hood mounted bell and the five-step stepwells that the GN added in the late fifties. The BN modified angular side sills are represented. Sometime in the seventies this old girl lost her front snow plow (remember-long hood forward?) but retains the plow on the short hood end.

#1861

looks, at first glance, like a standard NP torpedo boat geep painted black and green. But wait, it has four exhaust stacks and the now BN standard five-step stepwells. Don’t forget the NP unique bonus grab on the front and rear.

PROTOTYPE INFO:

In 1949, EMD introduced the GP7. The basic design followed most diesel switchers with the addition of a short hood instead of an end-cab. The hoods were also full height to better accommodate the diesel engine and mechanical and electrical components.

In 1954 EMD upgraded the GP7 to become the 1,750 horsepower GP9. Externally, the first GP9s were virtually unchanged from the last GP7s. Later versions would include different louver arrangements and the last ones would come without the frame skirting. The GP9 was available with all of the fuel tank, steam generator, and dynamic brake options as the GP7, including “torpedo boats.”
